Strategy Tips

tee shot

Target the center of the fairway for your tee shot, as the landing area widens from 31 yards at the 200-yard mark to 37 yards at 250 yards. The extra 6 yards of width at the longer distance rewards aggressive drivers who can carry it past 200 yards.

approach

With bunkers positioned at 370 yards from the tee, most approach shots will play over or around these hazards. Plan your tee shot distance accordingly - a 250-yard drive leaves a manageable 177-yard approach that clears the bunker complex.

green

The generous green measures 4,393 square feet (26 yards by 31 yards), providing a large target for approach shots. Use this size to your advantage by aiming for the center of the green rather than attacking tight pin positions, especially on this challenging 427-yard par-4.

hazard warning

Be aware of the out-of-bounds stakes to the left of this hole, as noted in the local rules. The bayside location near the marina creates scenic views but also potential hazards - keep drives away from the left side to avoid penalty strokes.

approach

This 427-yard par-4 requires two solid shots to reach the green in regulation. With the bunkers at 370 yards, your approach shot distance will largely depend on how far past the 250-yard fairway width marker you can drive it, where you'll have the maximum 37 yards of fairway to work with.
